ID help.....Are these copepods?

[Gator_Reefer]

Saw this all over the glass today with lights out while acclimating new fish in bag.

Can’t tell if they’re a type of copepod to not be concerned about, or something else. They are orange-brown in color. They are about a 1/4 to 1/2 width of pencil eraser.

Any help appreciated. Hard to get very close in pictures with my phone.

Unfortunately, they are red planaria flatworms. You need to remove them right away before they destroy the corals! You can siphon them out with a small hose or use flatworm exit, but do not kill all of them since they release harmful toxins in the tank.

Oh no.....thanks so much for taking a look!
